iOS as the leading edge of the flat design aesthetic? facepalm.

  He actually says Letterpress is on the leading edge of this trend. From Gruber: "Wiskus rightly cites Loren Brichter’s Letterpress for being at the leading edge of this trend." It may be true that Letterpress is setting an example for iOS apps, but it's hardly true of software interfaces in general. Windows Phone metro UI has been around a lot longer than Letterpress.

    "What occurs to me is that the timing of this trend, and the fact that iOS — and the iPhone in particular — is its leading edge, is not coincidental."

      And a few lines below he says that the default look of iOS does it wrong (in the context of the article). He can only be referring to third party apps.
